Jerusalem marked the 250th anniversary of American independence on Saturday night by illuminating the walls of the Old City and the city's iconic Chords Bridge in the red, white and blue colors of the U.S. flag.

The tribute, organized by the Jerusalem Municipality, was intended as a symbol of friendship and appreciation for the longstanding relationship between Israel and the United States, as well as the close ties between Jerusalem and the American people.

The display was part of a series of events and gestures held across Israel to commemorate the milestone anniversary of U.S. Independence Day.

Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Lion said the city was honored to celebrate the occasion with one of Israel's closest allies.

I’m sure there are flag burnings going on elsewhere, but it is nice to know we do have some allies.

I wonder what the resistance is doing in Tehran.

Since you asked:

Amir Tsarfati news feed:

The Iranian Intelligence Ministry issued a special statement 
of vengeance ahead of Khamenei’s funeral:“The American-
Israeli enemy committed the greatest crime and terrorist 
conspiracy in modern history by assassinating the martyred 
leader, Khamenei.The hearts of the Iranian people and of all 
free people around the world will not rest until vengeance is 
exacted upon those responsible for this crime.We will 
certainly avenge the blood of the martyred leader and the 
blood of all the other innocent martyrs.”

Love Israel!

Nice!

It's a heart and a science.

The 4th of July < --❤️-- > a Jewish heart:

ה-ד' ביולי < --❤️-- > לב יהודי

JERUSALEM

July 4th, 1776 = 17th of Tammuz 5536

5 + 536 = 541
1,776 feet = 541 m repeatedly

"Jerusalem" is quite a visual because according to the Jewish perspective on history, Esau = Rome = Christianity = Western Civ = America (leader of). Rome = America, for short.

On that calamitous day in history, the Romans breached the walls of JerUSAlem, which is to say they got inside.

Zec 8:19 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The fast of the fourth, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace.
